Clive Barker’s Books of Blood 1-3

Books of Blood is a collection of six horror story anthologies created by British author, dramatist, and director Clive Barker in 1984 and 1985. Previously known mostly for creating theatrical plays, Barker got a larger audience and popularity with this anthology series, which led to a successful career as a writer. Originally published in six volumes, the anthologies were later republished in two omnibus versions of three volumes each. Each book has four or five stories. Ramsey Campbell, a fellow Liverpudlian horror writer, wrote a preface to the Volume 1–3 omnibus.

Clive Barker's own style of completely grim horror established him as one of the most prominent voices in contemporary horror. It all started with the Books of Blood, a six-volume anthology of short fiction. The first book won a World Fantasy Award and established the pattern for Barker's tales of ordinary people caught up in terrifying and unabashedly disgusting events well beyond their control. If you've never heard of Clive Barker, here is the place to begin.
